Never saw Donner, never been back.

Raining in Reno and as we ascended toward Donner, noticed many cars and such pulling over, as it turns out to get chains afixed. As a Yooper, snow NEVER an issue, but pulled off in Truckee to buy chains, as required. Got back on the 80 went 1/4 mile traffic at a standstill. After an hour, backed off to the last exit and went back to Reno, still raining. The next day, set off again, with chains when required and drove some windy mtn road into Lake Tahoe, never exceeding about 20mph all the way. My first view of CA was a permanent lighted sign stating "chains or 4WD required over summit (Donner Pass), and never forgot that, was totes unexpected. The chains were abso overkill for me at least as a Yooper, but......arrived Fair Oaks (Sacto) and it rained non stop for 3 days. What a trip........bart simpsonsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840436089787700707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-73250938540585024092021-10-26T06:56:36.319-07:002021-10-26T06:56:36.319-07:00Mother Nature balances things out eventually.
